I haven't done a top-ten in a while and in honor of our first season in the Park Service as a couple I dedicate this top-ten to life on the open range and the interesting quirks that come with it.
TOP TEN WAYS you know you LIVE OFF THE GRID:
10. You have a stare-off with a mountain lion.
9. You call getting groceries "goin'ta town" (and I'm not kidding).
8. You can look out your front window and not see any man-made structures.
7. Sunsets are the cable television.
6. Instead of seeing the neighbors house cat chase a bird, you see a wild bobcat stalking cottontail rabbits.
5. You have no cell phone coverage.
4. You don't know what to say when people demand a street address (and you can actually invent your own and have it be legal).
3. People come from all over to look at your stars.
2. You drive to your home via dirt/gravel.
1. You forget how to merge and a stoplight is considered "traffic."
*all of these based are based on true events.

I never realized you don't have an official street address. I'm jealous of your simple life!
